Prairie School Desk

My daughters both needed a desk for their rooms. My wife found a desk she liked online. I copied the overall design, but added the short hutch on top. I drew it all up in Sketchup first. Made of cherry and sprayed on a lacquer finish. Most of the carcass and leg construction completed with Dominos. Drawer dovetail tails cut on the tablesaw and pins are hand cut. I’m getting a little better every time I do this!

Between the two lower cubbies, the two drawers with cubby in the middle, and hutch top, it can store and hold a lot of things for such a small footprint. Needless to say, Sophia and Phoebe love them!
